      my prof said with chain rule to always say "the derivative of the outside times the derivative of the inside" it may make sense. so (stuff)^2 derivative is 2*(stuff) then take derivative of stuff. so 2(stuff) * stuff ' here sin would be cos. 2sin * cos

    What is the problem with some college/university teachers. is it laziness? I guess it is pride - it seems they dont want subjects to appear simple, too simple for students to suddenly catch what they spent many years to train for. It is not only right, but an honest thing to "call a spade a spade." Thanks KA!

      If you differentiate x^2 + y^2 with respect to x you will get 2x while differentiating with respect to y gives 2y

    • @thanaa6401
      @thanaa6401 4 місяці тому +1

      It's just that you want to find the derivative (i.e. slope of the curve y = f(x)) AT the point x
      So whatever the point x on the line x squared, it's derivative will be 2 times this point ( i. e. 2x)
      When I want the derivative of x squared with respect to sinx. I mean this: whatever that point x is, I'm gonna find its sine. the specific value of this sine, I will input it into x squared and see what will be tge slope of line on THAT value.
      So, I take x, I input it into sin function, I get an output, I input this new output into the x squared function, I get a brand new output, and I want the slope of the line on that specific brand new output.
      I encourage you to watch composite functions videos from precalculus playlist + revise the intro videos on derivative as a concept

      It means that how does one value change with respect to another meaning , how much y will change if x is changed, for example if you derive postion x with respect to time t, then you get velocity meaning that derivative of x with respect to t is v, so when t has changed a little how much did x change or rather by factor did x change, that factor in this case is velocity v

  • @ernstboyd8745
    @ernstboyd8745 Місяць тому

    in the case of a linear function (where the function is just multiplying x by a constant)
    the derivative is just the product of the two derivatives.
    if f(x) = 5x and g(x) = 10x. then. g(f(x)) = 50x. and (50x)' =. f'(x) * g'(x) = 50
    if the outer function is not linear like g(x) = x^2 then the slope changes depending on the
    input it gets from the inner function f this is why the slope of the g(x) should be evaluated at the
    same value as it gets from f(x)
    in other words. (g(f(x)))' = f'(x) *. g'(f(x))

    The U substitution of inner x terms is simpler
    2nd step is finding dU by differentiating U = dU/dx to express everything in x terms
    So 2 successive differentiations. "Outer and "inner""

      It's multiplying the outer function times the inner function. If we see sin x as u, then the original function is u^2. So Sal took the derivative of u^2 and got 2u, which is 2sin x. Then he took the derivative of the inner function, sin x, and got cos x. Therefore, the derivative is 2 sin x cos x.
